My name is Clara Braaksma. Born and raised in the small town of Churchill Montana, I grew up on a dairy farm (turned ranch) helping the rest of my family. I operated machinery and helped with all the stuff most Ag kids do, but have also always loved art. It started with my dad's graphite pencils and grew into almost every drawing media I could get my hands on.

In High School I got the opportunity to meet a really cool guy who's the one that inspired me to turn my creativity in to a future. I started learning Adobe Illustrator myself and though online courses during school. I then decided to attend Flathead Valley Community College with the goal of getting a Associates in Graphic Design.

Up until this point I've freelanced and interned at Flathead Electric Cooperative, Inc. and intend to head home for another summer of Ag. After that I'll head back up here to Kalispell because I'm currently signed to be a designer for the local Insty-Prints!
